    A new member's (weeb) post caught my eye. He's owned his wagon for 15 years! Thought I'd start this thread.

    We've had ours (and only car) since 1997, 2 years off the road for the Full Resto - 12 years.

    Just a couple of weeks for my 87 Caprice wagon. My wife reminded me of a 82 Subaru wagon we bought new. I've work hard to forget that one.

    Ownership

    I had my 1965 Ford Falcon Futura wagon from 1978 until 1999 when I passed it on to a new family. Only 21 years.

    My current wagon, a 1982 Ford Granada L I've had just over a year, before this one I had an 1980 Ford Fairmont wagon.

    Over the years I have owned many wagons, such as:

    1978 Chevy Mailbu
    1965 Olds Cutlass with the "skylites"
    1965 Ford Falcon Futura
    1966 Ford Falcon
    1972 Ford Pinto
    1974 Ford Pinto
    1980 Ford Fairmont
    1982 Ford Granada L
    1965 Ford Falcon 2 door wagon
    1965 Ford Falcon Sedan Delivery
    1961 Ford Falcon 2 door wagon

    3 or 4 Falcon wagons taken down for parts.

    Well, gotta be "waggin" along for now.

    Had my Focus for about 4 years now, which is a long time with one car for me. I used to switch vehicles every year and a half or so......

    Now that I have some extra parking space, I can maybe start collecting......

    Other wagons I've owned:
    1974 Mazda RX4 Rotary-powered wagon
    1984 Mercury Grand Marquis Colony Park (only had it for a week or so....till it burned up)
    1989 Ford Taurus GL
    2000 Audi A6 Avant

    My '78 Country Squire I have had for one year. The '77 Country Squire before that, I had for three years.

    The Volvo 240 wagons and the '78 Toyota wagon where mostly under a year that I had them.

    76 impala wagon for two years. I has it shipped from Connecticut (spelling?) to Dallas. We got a tax return and my wife said I couldn't get a 74-76 2 door (like my first car) like I wanted, but she found the wagon online and allowed it. I didnt even know clamshells existed! We had a baby coming so wifey said wagon only. We could have waited and found one in Texas, but I wanted to get something before she changed her mind.:dance:
